Planting & Care

1. Planting: Start by selecting a location with well-drained soil and 4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. After selecting your area, dig a hole that’s approximately one and a half times the width of your shrub’s root ball. Place the shrub before back filling the soil and watering to settle its roots. Mulching after planting is beneficial to preserve your Holly’s moisture.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season, about once per week or whenever your evergreen’s surrounding soil is dry. To check for soil dryness, simply use your finger to check the dirt about 2 to 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water. Once your plant is established, watering frequency may be reduced, depending on your soil’s needs.

3. Fertilizing: Feed your Holly in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer or an evergreen-specific formula.

4. Pruning: Prune your Holly as needed for your desired shape.
